Explore Paddington with the Brisbane App

The free Brisbane app is a terrific resource for everybody wanting to find exciting things to see and do in Brisbane. The easy to use app features a smorgasbord of events, places, experiences and businesses. Best of all, the app features suggested itineraries for fun day (or nights) out!

A popular business featured on the app, and a wonderful place to start any day out, is Anouk Café in Paddington. Set on the site of an old apothecary – or chemist – Anouk is the perfect prescription for all-day brunch, with an exotic twist. The stenciled walls, bright artwork and cosy ambience make Anouk Brisbane’s brekky mecca for discerning diners.

Another must-do in Paddington is a visit to Empire Revival. The Empire operates inside the heritage listed Plaza Theatre that was built in 1929 and it’s only one of two atmospheric theatre buildings left in Australia. Get happily lost as you browse more than 1000 square metres of retail space packed with 50 separate merchants offering the rare, remarkable and retro.

Just a few streets away you’ll find a modern-day movie house with a touch of art deco! Cinebar Rosalie Village offers cinephiles much more than just a silver screen experience. No, the fun begins the moment you step through the door, with themed cocktails at the bar which is transformed for each blockbuster release. Guests can also pre-order their house made meal and it’ll be delivered to you in the theatre as you enjoy the movie. And after a few tough years at the box office, there are some major movie releases around the corner. Upcoming films include Top Gun 2 and Jurassic World.
